Hydra (DayZ)

I know i've been playing too much DayZ when I try to select direct chat before I speak... In the real world.

Once sniped a dude that was sitting on a Cherno building from Pik Kozlova (Milk Mountain), but that was back in the days when I was a filthy little TWS AS50 bush. If you get sniped from 1500m, give kudos to the sniper and move on. Learn from the experience. Act as if you ALWAYS had a crosshair over your chest, and you won't die nearly as often from snipers. I've actually had snipers give up on shooting me after I flatout dodged their bullets by scrambling about unpredictably on an airport runway and dancing to the Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive song.

You don't need soldiers, you need mercenaries. I'll clear them out if you give me one hundred bajillion million quintilion dollars. And a can of mountain dew.

When I see other survivors and thry start firing, I don't even care about a kill shot. Suppressing fire as I escape is sufficient.

I love the lives where you spawn and instantly find everything you want on a corpse or otherwise, only to have it taken away from you not 30 seconds later.

Average Hydra DayZ day, -Wake up and crawl out of my tent, cook and eat some pork on the fireplace -pick up my rifle and head into Elektro, then hide in a nice corner, waiting. -see a survivor, chase him around with my axe while blaring such hits as the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" and the Benny Hill theme. -rinse and repeat a few times -get bored and go hold up on top of the hospital, inside the "safe room" and server jump until I find someone on the roof, who I proceed to fuck with via morphvox. They die eventually. -get bored with that and go snipe as50 l33t sniper wannabes off of cherno's industrial buildings with my m24. -killed by teleporter with TWS as50 Day complete.

I'll take all of your stock for one of my generators xD

DayZ without pvp isn't DayZ.

Psh. Everyone knows an AS50 is Elektro sniper gear. SVD is worthless, and most scrubs don't know how to use a PSO.

I wasn't watching the stream at the time of the attack, actually. And who the hell stated I was fishing for beans? I was merely sharing a story from earlier times. Meh.

My favorite ambush is from a while back during my Pik Kozlova as50 bambi-sniping phase (yeah, just about everyone has this phase at one point or another). I was watching a streamer with a group of a dozen or so players that were playing on the same high-pop server. Watched them as they destroyed stream-sniper after stream sniper. They were riding around Kamenka towards Cherno in a Ural as I closed the stream and placed a single razor wire setup in the middle of the street in front of Pik Kozlova and Cap Golova, as well as a few satchel charges I had. After setting the trap up, I retreated and sat in Ghillie in the mountain, completely camouflaged with an as50 already dialed in exactly to the distance from my position to the trap. To my surprise, they did actually ride on the road, and were driving towards Elektro. The driver wasn't thinking at the time, or so I was told, because he drove up to the razor wire and stopped in front of it. I found out after I saw the recorded stream that he was talking to his group, asking if the Ural could drive through the wire. Before they could answer, BOOM, I touch off all of the satchels, destroying the Ural and killing most of the occupants instantly. Those who didn't die were knocked inconscious, and chose not to log out. Instead of moving up and attacking, I lay still, watching for movement. I was prepared to sit for an hour. After 5 minutes of waiting, I saw a weapon poking around the corner of the back part of the truck. They were close enough for me to see that it was an l85, but it wasn't pointing anywhere near me. As he moved more and more out of cover looking for hostiles, I squeezed on my mouse, sending 12.7 milimeters of ass-smashing into his upper chest, killing him instantly. There were others behind the truck, and they knew they were pinned. They sat there for 30 minutes, doing absolutely nothing. They eventually made a break for a hill south of the truck, where a ditch could possibly give them cover. They made it to the ditch, but I had the high ground by over a hundred meters, and they had no cover. The two remaining men proned out over the edge of the ditch, and I eliminated both in quick succession. Said "you're welcome" in their stream chat once I opened it back up. They banned me from their stream :D

HEY. It's a hell of a lot harder for the script kiddies to screw up your day than pressing one button! They have to copy and paste first.

You were lucky that this worked out well for you... Landing a helicopter in Cherno, on the ground with no backup, no less, is one of the most stupid things you can do. As I said, you are lucky your enemies were idiots... I personally would've hid and waited for you to get back in, then shoot you when you were defenseless in the pilot's seat.

You could buy me a t-shirt to support DayZ.

Always know your situation, and always doubt everything. The real rule #1: You are never safe, at any time.

Ran around Balota after killing my first man. (I was proud as hell, first survivor I met tried to light me up with a mk48 and I offed him with a single revolver headshot while he spray n' prayed.) Found out there was a nice camp nearby with military gear inside. Got inside, found out how to climb the ladders, looted the camp. Tried exitting the camp, MK48 in hand, new Coyote backpack on my back. Went through the front gates, and when I pressed "open" on the last gate, it swung the wrong way open, which dragged me and squished me into the fencing, which instantly broke my legs, made me pass out... And inexplicably get thrown a kilometer into the air............ Splat. Respawned nearby and found my corpse with some luck. Apparently another survivor had seen the whole thing and pissed himself in side chat laughing... He was looting my corpse. I ask him in direct if I could have my stuff back. He turns around and points my Mk48 at me. His response to my question? A single 7.62mm round to my face. Boom second death... Que KAMENKA SPAAAAAAWN.

My DayZ experience has been a rollercoaster of sorts. Started out as a lone wolf pure survivor, not attacking anyone, hiding when others would shoot. Got bored, started reaching out to others, got lucky with most I met, boom group time. Group betrays me after a week of playing with them and talking in ts for my weapon, a m110 some scripter had spawned (hadn't even known that there WERE haxxors at this point). Get pissed, start kos'ing like today's average bandit. Ascend to bambi as50 elektro sniper bandit. Quickly bored of that. Start counter sniping and killing Elektro/Cherno snipers with a TWS as50. Started being a "Mountain Dew Knight", sacrificing the blood of the innocent to the Dew Gods, yadda yadda. After a while of that, I started getting bored and fell to chasing people around cherno with an axe while playing such hits as the Benny Hill theme and the Bee Gees "stayin' alive" through direct. Took a break, started playing Takistan life instead. After a month and a half of that, returned to Dayz with military level skill and an actual military-esq squad, ie with correct informational battle talk. And now I go around legitly robbing people with my squad, making them drop their weapons and sending them off after we take their shit. Gods help you if we find that you have a can of mountain dew on you that you are not worthy enough to hold...

going in there at night is scary... The deeper you get the creepier it gets... Until you got through the last tunnel standing up and Xhibit greets you.

There are no HMGs in dayz minus the M1s on the GPKs in Fallujah. Just MMGs and LMGs. yay pointless terminology.

KSVK.

A varmint rifle is just a .22 ...

In b4 graveyard due to this all being suggested numerous times before with a much higher quality post...

Seems legit.

Respawn button: you can click the button if you are quick enough/if the server lags a little Singleplayer: Singleplayer... Where's the allure to that? DayZ is boring as all hell without other players if it is implemented for some reason, it should only save locally. I.e no getting gear in sp and using it in mp. If you're wanting a Zombie-related game where you do nothing but fetch and rescue quests, go play dead island.

Suddenly a hacker teleports to your Huey, scripts you to death, and steals it for a suicide run on Elektro.
